Monday was return day in he
bankruptcy proceedings started re
cently in tne Federal court here
against Robert Harris & J3ro. and J.
H. Walker & Co., of Reidsville, who
were represented in court by Brooks,

000. Indorsement of paper for the
Reidsville Fertilizer Company, against
which involuntary petitions were
filed, and against J. H. Walker &
Co., constituted part of the liabili
ties. -
In connection with the bankruptcy
proceedings, the following dispatch
from Reidsville is of interest:
"Deputy Collector of Internal Rev
enue J. T. Donahue, acting upon 4n
structions from his department, has
seized the factory of Robert Harris
& Bro., recently declared bankrupt,
pending an - investigation concerning
the amount of tobacco on' hand, and
the receiver, Ira R. Humphreys, hav
ing refused to give bond to cover
the 850,000 pounds of tobacco the
government reports showed to be on
hand, is now waiting to seg the ex;
act findings as to the amount of
stock on hand befor.e he will obli
gate his bondsmen for the amount
claimed to be. in the possession of
the; bankrupt firm."
The receiver says he eound upon
investigation that the government
bopks of, the bankrupt firm showed
more tobacco on hand than was ac
tually in the firm's possession by
several hundred thousand pounds.
WANT A DEPOT.
People of McLeansville File Pet tion
With Corporation Comimis:;:on.
Citizens of McLeansville have f led
a petition with the corporation com
mission of North Carolina a-king
that the Southern Railway Company,
as lessee of the North Carolina Rail
road Company, be required to pro
vide better station and depot facil
ities at McLeansburg, the first sta
tion east of Greensboro on he
North Carolina railroad. The com
mission has fixed July 8, at 2 P.
M., in the court house at Greens
boro, as the time and place for a
hearing upon this petition. The pe
titioners are represented by Attorney
Charles A. Hines.
The petition alleges, among oher
things, that McLeansburg is the
only railroad station between Greens
boro and Gibsonville, a distance of
seventeen miles, and that there '
no other station within a radius of
seven miles of this place; that at
present tne only waiting room is a
shed, which is open on the north side
and partially open at the ends, and
there is no place whatever in which
freight may be stored. The busi
ness of the place is considerable.
There are two stores in the village,
two schools and 200 or more people
within a radius of a mile of the de
pot, and another school and stores
re served from this station.
It is asked that the railroad com
pany be required to build a suitable
freight and passenger depot, with
separate waiting rooms for the races,
and that an ( agent be placed m
charge.
McLeansvill e is in the center of
a most progr sssive- and prosperous
section of Gu ilf ord, and the. people
of that community deserve consid
eration at thet hands of the com
mission and thte railroad.
